NetWare 3. x – No PSERVER Connection
• Was the NIC power cycled after the PCONSOLE steps were
completed? This will make the print server boot up and realize
which print queue and file server it needs to service.
• Is the NIC already servicing a queue on another file server? If
so, it cannot service another file server at the same time.
• When defining a new print server within PCONSOLE, did
you use the correct name for the NIC (e.g., M_091C1A)? By
default, it only recognizes itself as M_xxxxxx or M302_xxxxx for
the Wireless Adapter where xxxxxx equals the last six digits of
its Ethernet address found on the configuration printout or
control panel settings under Ethernet Parameters, MAC
address.
• When defining a new printer name within PCONSOLE, did
you use a predefined destination/queue rather than a name of
your own? By default, the NIC only recognizes names like
d1prn. All other names will be ignored by the device.
• Is the NIC in Bindery mode as seen under the list
pserver output on the device? If servicing only a NetWare 3.
x
file server, it must be set to handle Bindery services. The
default setting is Bindery.
• Is there an available NetWare user license for the NIC to use
while it acts as a PSERVER? Every PSERVER takes up one
user license since it logs into the Novell file server.
• Have you given the connection process some time after
repowering the NIC? In larger Novell environments, the file
server identification and connection process can take several
minutes.
